Instead of getting a real second season, or third season we are all waiting for, Lucky Star has to be different. Instead of an animated show, they give us a live-action show. Instead of it being an awesome live-action show featuring real girl look-alikes, they give us a show about the voice actors riding go-carts. Truth is stranger than fiction my friends. Let me be the first to present you to Lucky Racer, a Lucky Star spinoff series featuring Minoru Shiraishi. Basically the cast and the staff will race each other on go-carts during the show. The winner will then be able to debut products or publicize themselves. Which to me sounds like they will get some free screen time to do whatever they want. This show will make its wonderful debut on the 3rd of April, which is too close to the 1st of April for my tastes. Either way, don’t expect to see this here in America. [Via ANN]

Lol wut Lucky Star racing spinoff? My Japanese ain't top notch, but it seems that Shiraishi Minoru who voiced the Lucky Star character of the same name will be hosting a show called "Lucky Racers" where the seiyuu and staff associated with Lucky Star will race each other in go karts.

Seriously. I've been neglecting buying this thing for a while, and thank God it was only when my dad offered to get me something at Barnes and Noble that I finally picked it up, cuz I'd hate to have spent my own money on it. There are no shortage of reasons that this is a disappointment, some of which come from the Bandai release in particular, and others inherent in the manga that prove, in my opinion, the vast superiority of the anime.

Hidoshi suddenly resurfaced (was on a hiatus since October) with these observations: Lucky Star presented itself in such a way that I often felt that I was only seeing snippets from a full set of lives. However caricatured the cast became, they still had ambitions and goals which fell outside the scope of their more fleshed-out [...]
